Creating PDF forms in LiveCycle Designer 8.0

I post detail at Software
nha khoa Group
Question on a quirk I have noticed when creating a form using LiveCycle Designer 8 and was wondering if there was a way to change this.
I will use a Text Field for an area where I want the person who will fill out the form to add comments/questions. I widen the box out so the user will have area to type their comments in.
In the properties of for that Text Field, on the "Object" tab I check the box to allow multiple lines and I limit the length to the visible area.
That all works fine. The quirk is when I test the form and then click in that area to type for the text field the cursor always starts in the middle of that Text Field area. Is there a way to get the cursor to start at the top of the text box when someone fills out the form?

Post your question in the LiveCycle Designer forum.

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Java Script Warning when creating PDF form in LiveCycle ES (8.2)

When generating a PDF form in LiveCycle ES version (8.2) I keep getting a java script error (yellow bar warning) in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3. This PDF doesn't need java-script ... however I can not find where you turn this off in LiveCycle ES. Any help would be appreciated.

Created an Adobe PDF form via LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, used the New Form Assistant, prob w/ email

I created a form to be distributed, filled in and emailed back to me for my company.
It has been working fine, but now I need to change the email address where it will be sent when the user clicks the "Submit Form" button. How?
All I need to do is change this email address, everything else is set.
Please help.
Thanks

My experience is that re-running the Distribute Form does not allow you to change the options you get on first run.
To correct this you need open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and go to Edit > Preferences and select the identity category. The email address can be changed there.
Further, when I ran Distribute Form, it made some other changes to the PDF too, because the Email submit button in my form does not work any longer in Adobe Reader. Clicking it simply prompts to save a local copy of the PDF. The submit still works in Acrobat Pro, but this is useless for a distributed form.
It seems odd that Distribute form make changes to a form which seemingly cannot be undone or further require the use of another product to change.

Hi
Is there any method for having text fields align the inputted text to the centre?

Creating PDF forms in Frame (switch from Word?)

Here's another "can I switch from Word" question. I am an old (5.5) Frame ACE now in a new job where we use Word. Frame would be a much better choice in many ways, for many reasons.
I could use some help figuring out whether Frame creates forms that convert easily to PDF. As an end product, what we need is a PDF form with a large number of fixed-length text fields; users must be able to download the form and fill it in at their leisure, either all at once or in stages, saving their work as they go.
These files are currently constructed in Word out of tables. They are a terrible mess and must be recreated from scratch. If Frame handles forms well, we can start that work fresh in Frame and dump Word completely. (This is a question I could answer for myself in a few minutes if I could download a trial. Bad timing.)
Can somebody with a current copy of Frame tell me how it handles forms and whether it's possible to use Frame to create PDF forms with plenty of fixed-length text fields, some of them quite long?
Your help is much appreciated. Thank you!
V. B. Beck

Thank you, Sheila.
Users are most likely to simply have Adobe Reader.
Sorry to be asking for so much help--it is rather maddening not to be able to download the trial and take a quick look for myself.
Are form fields defined directly within Frame, or is it necessary to hack the PDF? If within Frame, how is length of input defined--by number of characters? Or, as with LiveCycle Designer, can you "limit length to visible area"?
Thanks as always and in advance for the help.

Create pdf forms from a xml file for follow up information

Forgive my amateurishness, I have a simple .xml that was created with excel with name, address, date of service, age, dob, account #, unit, and business name. I need a form to be pre-populated with the .xml data but have other fields (mainly Yes/No check boxes) that need to be populated by another user. This user would then finish filling out the form and return it to me via email. I have created the form in LC Designer ES2 and created it with Acrobat Pro X. However when I attempt to import data I can only see the first .xml record. So my question is, how do I create multiple .pdf forms for each .xml record? Do I need to use Java within LC Designer? Or use Adobe Pro? I am not afraid to attempt to code, (I have many excel programs that batch print to .pdf using vb).
Thank you in advance

I don't play with forms enough to give an answer. However, you might search the Forms sub-forum for a possible solution. You might also find better answers there, though many of the forms experts drop by here too.

Forms with LiveCycle Designer

Hi,
Last year I designed a form (to PDF) within Adobe LiveCycle Designer (latest version). Now I'v upgraded to Adobe CC, but I don't find this programm. Instead I've got FormsCentral. How can I import this special PDF form into FormsCentral and keeping the filling-files, buttons?
Kind regards,
Joris

Forms are forms. They don't change just because you upload them. While it has nothing to do with LiveCycle as such, FC should be able to open your frorm and convert it. In any case, ask such specific questions in teh relevant product forums.

A pdf form I have designed cannot be exported due to an "unexpected error". What can I do?

When I try to save a particular pdf form I have designed I get a message that it cannot be exported due to an unexpected error. I have not had this problem with other forms I have created. What can I do?

Yes, Forms Central. I made the form by using a blank form page, copying and pasting another form I had done previously to the blank page and then modifying it.
The original form I had copied from as the basis for the new form saved as a pdf form perfectly: the copied and then modified version kept displaying the error message.
In the end I have managed to work around this problem by opening another template form (the Assessment one) and spending forever copying the items from the form i couldn't export over to the " template form one at a time (after deleting the template items, naturally).
I will be making other forms that will have versions with minor variations and it would be much easier if I could copy and paste a whole form at a time rather than cell by cell but is that going to make the copied forms impossible to export from FormsCentral as it did with this one?

How do I use auto-form recognition to create PDF forms in Acrobat XI?

I used to use Acrobat 9 to create PDF forms that would allow me to fill in text into the fields that were created. Acrobat XI seems to have changed the way this function is performed. Previously, I could run an auto form recognition wizard, do some minor tweaking, and be done. Now, when I attempt to follow the process in Acrobat XI, I get the following message that pops up: "No new form field annotations were detected.", and no fields get created. I could do this manually, but the process of doing so is very clunky and cumbersome. Once I create a new text field, I must then go back and resize it. This would not be a problem if I was only working with a few fields on a single page, but I have a six page document with multiple fields to create (text fields, check box fields, etc.). Perhaps I'm missing something, but there seems to be no simple way to do this anymore. It's making me want to just install Acrobat 9, so that I will have back the feature that I used to have. I'm using Acrobat XI on Mac, but I'm assuming the function should be the same in Windows. I can use Preview on the Mac to simply type in the text that I need, but I was hoping to pass along the PDF so that others can use it as well. This is not just a one time thing.

There are no APIs for C# and external applications for this conversion. There is however an API for Acrobat plugins to perform this operation. So, if necessary, you could write a custom plugin (that calls the API you need) and expose that via some form of IPC to your C# app.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Creating PDF forms in Preview??

Do I HAVE to have another application other than Preview (e.g. Adobe Acrobat, or something) to create PDF forms? I'm trying to do a questionnaire-type thing, and so far haven't been successful in creating one. Thanks.

I know how to save things as PDF, it's just I'd like to create a form that people can fill in, and I'd like to do it as a PDF document that I can email out.

Creating PDF forms: possible in InDesign?

Hi there
I'd like to create PDF forms to be used for email questionnaires and surveys. The last time I looked into it I found that I needed to create the PDF first and then use another application (I can't remember the name) to add the fields for the form. I found it to be a little clumsy, and didn't have the layout control that I do with InDesign. Is there a way of creating forms entirely in InDesign?
Any help would be appreciated.
Graham

.. then use another application (I can't remember the name) to add the fields ..
That would be Acrobat Pro.
Nothing ID can do for you here. You still create the PDF with a layout package, and add form fields (which are a PDF feature, not a layout thing) with Acrobat. Fortunately, Acrobat has a nearly magical Form Field wizard that'll help you through that process as painless as possible.

Create PDF form sancer show "IsCapAllowed"

Why I use create PDF form sancer, my Adobe Pro XI will show "IsCapAllowed", and then show "Runtime Error!" and termination, please support.

Hi ngai_951127,
Are you able to scan using the software included with the scanner, or does this error only occur when you scan from Acrobat? Have you been able to scan from Acrobat previously? What OS and version of Acrobat are you using? So many questions, I know!
Please make sure that your scanner driver is up-to-date and appropriate for the OS that you're using. And, if the error persists, you can try repairing your Acrobat installation.
Let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
